The Bergamot, an Indie-Folk duo, return today with their most ambitious single yet, "Beauty That We See," a soaring, cinematic anthem that serves as the centerpiece of their first-ever Grammy campaign. Scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, as a single from their upcoming album "Give Love Away" via AWAL / The Orchard / Sony, the song marks an inflection point in the duo's career.
Recorded at the world-famous Leighton Concert Hall of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center in South Bend, Indiana, the song is elevated by a stunning collaboration with the Notre Dame Children's Choir. The result is a tapestry that sounds at once intimate and boundless and a soundscape that connects the physical world of folk storytelling to the cinematic scope of the stage.
The track offers a mix of sumptuous arrangements, soaring harmonies, and soul-searching lyrics, produced by Matt Wiggins. "Beauty That We See" establishes a sense of timelessness from its first notes, opening a space where music serves as both a rallying cry and a gentle reminder of what's possible.
Nathaniel Paul, who wrote most of the new album, reveals the deeper purpose of the single, "I really wanted this song to illustrate to the listener that we must continue to build a future we believe in," and the ethos pulses throughout the track. The back and forth of Paul and Jillian Speece's vocals, which supports the purity and innocence of the children's choir, elevates the song to a level much bigger than itself. It is an aesthetic directive that beauty, hope, and resilience are still at hand.
"Beauty That We See" is more than a song, and more a manifestation of The Bergamot's commitment to using music as a vehicle for light in an increasingly uncertain world. As the duo's Grammy campaign heats up and excitement grows for Give Love Away, the release signals what will be a game-changing new chapter in the duo's career.
